Default 1991 XJS hydraulic Ram seal replacements

Anyone know where to purchase convertible top Hydraulic Ram replacement seals for my 1991 Jaguar XJS
I cannot find a seal replacement kit.

I tried looking at new seals when I did mine, but didn't find any in the looking I did. I then decided that since my shafts had rust on them and they were 27 year it old plastic, that it would be better to just replace both of the pistons.

They are likely standard seals, I'd measure the shaft diameter of the piston rod and then take the old seals into an industrial hydraulic supplier and see what they can match up for you.

I dicided to replace both rams,
Old cylinders with a little rust cannot be rebuilt.
